Default Can anyone give me an update on the worlds most exciting horse?

I am of course talking about Motovato.





You guys remember him?

He was that complete talentless bum of a 3yo who couldn't outrun a goat for Todd Pletcher. But - after being transferred into Marty Wolfson's barn - he drew off by 15 lengths and ran a faster Beyer than Big Brown ever did.

I couldn't really include him in the move-up trainer thread with other miracles like Miesque's Approval, Rockerfeller, Ikigai, and Itsabird - because he never won anything more than an allowance race.

But I am curious to know how he is doing? He hasn't raced since the explosive win ... nor has he worked lately.

For those keeping score at home on the Wolfson/Gann team ...

After yesterday's win... Wolfson is now a mere 18-for-29 (62% wins) and $6.02 ROI with all Ed Gann owned horses on dirt.

Basically Gann gave him a couple horses that Pletcher and Sadler couldn't get to run .. and now they're machines.

That 62% win percentage may seem high - but how about the mind-boggling 301% profit on the betting dollar!? They're winning at big prices!

Oh - and by the way - anyone who owns a 2yo should probably send it to Wolfson. He raced just four 2yo's on dirt in all of 2008.

Inspite of only starting four - his runner You Lucky Mann (107) had the highest 2yo Beyer of any male horse in the country last year. his runner Frolic's Dream (105) had the highest Beyer of any female in the country last year.

Frolic's Dream RNA'd at the OBS June sale for just 55K inspite of her fashionable pedigree. OBS June is the cheapest and lowest rated of the four OBS 2yo sales. But hey, Frolic's Dream was real impressive in the training preview ... she only worked 3/5ths of a second slower than FreddyMo's bargain basement buy who's sired by Cappuchino.

You Luckie Mann - who's running Lost in the Fog type figures - sold for less than sales average at OBS March - but did at least look good to me anyway.

But hey, everything has it's limitations. I've heard rumors that Kasept has been in that barn lately ... and I'm predicting a decline in form in that instance.
